The process of transferring content from a DVD to your computer’s hard drive is called “ripping.” There are many reasons for ripping DVDs. Chief among them are convenience, portability and protection, which means you can watch your movies on devices such as tablets, smartphones and other devices that don’t have an optical drive anytime and anywhere now.

A DVD ripper is a software program that facilitates copying the content of a DVD to a hard disk drive. They are mainly used to transfer video on DVDs to different formats, to edit or back up DVD content, and to convert DVD video for playback on media players and mobile devices.
